I'm assuming this is just going to be a rebuild with OE parts, correct? If so, I'd recommend buy as many parts as possible from Parts Dinosaur (http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com/page29.html).

Howell Automotive (http://www.howellautomotive.com/), Concept Illusions (http://www.conceptillusions.com/), or Satan should be able to get you anything else you need.

I believe Howell and CI have absolutely complete OE rebuild kits if you don't want to source your parts from more than one place. Bruce, at Parts Dinosaur, may also be able to get you a complete kit...

I think that, given your small budget, it would be prudent to advise us of why you are needing to rebuild your engine. If the pistons are fine and the rods are fine, then you might be able to get away with minimal machine work and hard parts.

Basically, my car is running like sht. it has 108,000 miles on it and i want it to be as fresh as possible. it also feels like its losing power. im not sure exactly whats wrong with my car, but if i do a basic rebuild, it cant hurt. i dont think i need pistons or rods, but I think i might need rings and valve seals. what do you recommend to buy for this type of rebuild.

thanks

Are you burning any oil?

I suppose, as a bare minimum, I would get new rings and valve seals. New bearings, an oil pump and water pump would be a good idea too.

You'll also need new TTY bedplate and head bolts, unless you opt for (or have already opted for) ARP hardware. You might as well replace some gaskets/seals while you're down there.

You should be able to do the whole project for under a few hundred dollars in parts. Hopefully your cylinders, crankshaft or valves don't have any damage, so there won't be much to take to the machinist.

I advise doing a compression check and finding out the actual condition of your motor before just buying random parts. Get that done and let us know what's up

 

[eclipse0508]

How much should I expect to pay for the compression test? And what is a rough idea of what results to expect?

You can buy a compression tester at walmart for less than $20, and it has the instructions right on it.
